Discovery of the VHE gamma-ray source HESS J1832-093 in the vicinity of SNR G22.7-0.2
(Oxford Univ Press, 2015)The region around the supernova remnant (SNR) W41 contains several TeV sources and has prompted the HESS Collaboration to perform deep observations of this field of view. This resulted in the discovery of the new very high ... -
Discovery of two millisecond pulsars in Fermi sources with the nançay radio telescope
(IOP Publishing, 2011)We report the discovery of two millisecond pulsars in a search for radio pulsations at the positions of Fermi-Large Area Telescope sources with no previously known counterparts, using the Nan¸cay Radio Telescope. The two ... -
Discovery of variable VHE γ-ray emission from the binary system 1FGL J1018.6-5856
(EDP Sciences, 2015)Re-observations with the HESS telescope array of the very high-energy (VHE) source HESS J1018–589 A that is coincident with the Fermi-LAT γ-ray binary 1FGL J1018.6–5856 have resulted in a source detection significance of ... -
Discovery of very high energy gamma rays from 1ES 1440 + 122
(Oxford Univ Press, 2016)The BL Lacertae object 1ES 1440+122 was observed in the energy range from 85 GeV to 30 TeV by the VERITAS array of imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes. The observations, taken between 2008 May and 2010 June and totalling ... -
Discovery of very high energy gamma-ray emission coincident with molecular clouds in the W 28 (G6.4-0.1) field
(EDP Sciences, 2008)Aims. Observations of shell-type supernova remnants (SNRs) in the GeV to multi-TeV γ-ray band, coupled with those at millimetre radio wavelengths, are motivated by the search for cosmic-ray accelerators in our Galaxy. The ... -
Discovery of very high energy y-ray emission from Centaurus A with HESS.
(IOP Publishing, 2009)We report the discovery of faint very high energy (VHE; E > 100 GeV) γ-ray emission from the radio galaxy Centaurus A in observations performed with the High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.) experiment, an imaging ... -
Discovery of very high energy γ-ray emission from the BL Lacertae object PKS 0301-243 with H.E.S.S.
(EDP Sciences, 2013)The active galactic nucleus PKS 0301−243 (z = 0.266) is a high-synchrotron-peaked BL Lac object that is detected at high energies (HE, 100 MeV < E < 100 GeV) by Fermi/LAT. This paper reports on the discovery of PKS 0301−243 ... -
Discovery of very-high-energy gamma-ray emission from the vicinity of PSR J1913+1011 with HESS
(EDP Sciences, 2008)The HESS experiment, an array of four Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes with high sensitivity and large field-of-view, has been used to search for emitters of very-high-energy (VHE, >100 GeV) $\gamma$-rays along the ... -
Discovery of VHE emission towards the Carina arm region with the H.E.S.S. telescope array: HESS J1018-589
(EDP Sciences, 2012)The Carina arm region, containing the supernova remnant SNR G284.3–1.8, the high-energy (HE; E > 100 MeV) binary 1FGL J1018.6–5856 and the energetic pulsar PSR J1016–5857 and its nebula, has been observed with the H.E.S.S. ... -
Discovery of VHE gamma-rays from the high-frequency-peaked BL Lacertae object RGB J0152+017
(EDP Sciences, 2008)Aims. The BL Lac object RGB J0152+017 (z=0.080) was predicted to be a very high-energy (VHE; >100 GeV) $\gamma$-ray source, due to its high X-ray and radio fluxes. Our aim is to understand the radiative processes by ... -
Discovery of VHE y-ray emission and multi-wavelength observations of the BL Lacertae object 1RXS J101015.9-311909
(EDP Science, 2012)1RXS J101015.9 − 311909 is a galaxy located at a redshift of z = 0.14 hosting an active nucleus (called AGN) belonging to the class of bright BL Lac objects. Observations at high (HE, E > 100 MeV) and very high (VHE, E > ... -
Discovery of VHE y-rays from the BL Lacertae object PKS 0548-322
(EDP Sciences, 2010)Aims. PKS 0548-322 (z=0.069) is a "high-frequency-peaked'' BL Lac object and a candidate very high energy (VHE, E >100 GeV) $\gamma$-ray emitter, due to its high X-ray and radio flux. Observations at the VHE band provide ... -
Discrete Morrey spaces and their inclusion properties
(Wiley, 2018)We discuss discrete Morrey spaces and their generalizations, and we prove necessary and sufficient conditions for the inclusion property among these spaces through an estimate for the characteristic sequences -
The discrete twofold Ellis–Gohberg inverse problem
(Elsevier, 2017)In this paper a twofold inverse problem for orthogonal matrix functions in the Wiener class is considered. The scalar-valued version of this problem was solved by Ellis and Gohberg in 1992. Under reasonable conditions, the ... -
